Heartland will get better ―Madu

Despite losing 2-0 away to FC IfeanyiUbah on Matchday 8 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) Coach Ransom Madu of Heartland FC, Owerri says he is happy with the performance of his boys and the team will push on to get better.

Heartland conceded their first away defeat and second of the season at the Ifeanyi Ubah Stadium as Awazie Ekene and Seka Pascal took turns to score in each half while Heartland’s closest attempts were returned by the woodwork.

“I have nothing to complain about the game. I am very happy with my boys. They payed very well but lost to hard luck while IfeanyiUbah were lucky to make their chances count and scored cheap goals,” Madu said.

“Those cheap goals and the hard luck of hitting the bar tended to demoralize my boys. They played well but that is why after all preparations, it is important to pray for your boys to be lucky to score goals.

“Nonetheless, we are pushing on. The team is getting better with each match and you will see how we will turn out towards the end of the season.”

The Naze Millionaires, as they are nicknamed opened the season campaign on a lacklustre note, probably still adjusting on their return from relegation, as they were held to a goalless draw by visiting Sunshine Stars of Akure at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.

Their two wins, four draws and two defeats keep them on the 10th position on the log with 10 points.
